Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Colour Challenge’ and I am using the ‘Paper Florist Dies‘ by Stampin’ Up!®
I created this challenge and I’m looking forward to see what everyone has created. You could use 3 of the colours or all 5 colours. I love this combination of colours so beautiful and bright….what a great way to start of ‘Spring’
I just had to use the Paper Florist Dies to create beautiful blooms for my card. The flowers are all water coloured using the Fluid 100 Water Colour paper with ink from the Ink Pads using the Water Painters.
